Carisbrooke Grange - A helping hand to a home of your own…

Release Date: 09 July 2008

A helping hand to a home of your own…

Think that a new home is out of your reach? Think again – a newly launched government initiative could mean that with a mortgage of as little as 50% of the purchase price, a new home at Jelson Homes’ popular Carisbrooke Grange development in Desborough could be yours.

Designed to help first time buyers, key workers or those presently living in rented social housing and with a household income of less than £60,000 to purchase a home of their choice on the open market, the ‘MyChoiceHomeBuy’ scheme could be the key to the home of your dreams.

With a low interest loan of between 15 – 50% of the value of your new home to ‘top up’ a mortgage of your choice from a range of lenders, this scheme could seriously boost your purchasing power.

In addition to your mortgage payments, small payments on the ‘MyChoiceHomeBuy’ loan are made on a monthly basis at around 1.75%, with the balance of the loan due for repayment when you either sell the property or have paid off your mortgage. The property will be re-valued and your final repayment will be based on the percentage you owe of the property’s latest value – so whether prices rise or fall, you get a fair deal. But with funds available on a first-come-first-served basis, you will have to hurry - so visit Carisbrooke Grange and choose your new home soon.

To take advantage of this exciting new initiative, you first need to decide which brand new home at Carisbrooke Grange best suits your needs. With a range of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes to choose from, there is something to suit a variety of lifestyles. Jelson’s friendly sales advisors will be on hand to discuss your requirements and once you’ve chosen your new home, all that remains is to put your application forward – further information on how to do this can be provided on site.

In addition to a great choice of homes built to Jelson’s traditional standards, Carisbrooke Grange offers an excellent location for families and commuters alike. Within walking distance, Desborough town centre has a supermarket and range of high street shops. There is also a good choice of schools in the vicinity. Meanwhile, the nearby towns of Market Harborough and Kettering offer a wider selection of shops.
